 1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise *shall* continually *be* in my mouth.*

 2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear *thereof*, and be glad.

 3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

 4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

 5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.*

 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard *him*, and saved him out of all his troubles.

 7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

 8 O taste and see that the LORD *is* good: blessed *is* the man *that* trusteth in him.

 9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for *there is* no want to them that fear him.

 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good *thing*.

 11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

 12 What man *is he that* desireth life, *and* loveth *many* days, that he may see good?

 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

 15 The eyes of the LORD *are* upon the righteous, and his ears *are open* unto their cry.

 16 The face of the LORD *is* against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

 17 *The righteous* cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

 18 The LORD *is* nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.**

 19 Many *are* the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

 20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

 21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.*

 22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.*

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
**I will bless the Lord -**I will praise him; I will be thankful for his mercies, and will always express my sense of his goodness. 

**At all times -**In every situation of life; in every event that occurs. The idea is, that he would do it publicly and privately; in prosperity and in adversity; in safety and in danger; in joy and in sorrow. It would be a great principle of his life, expressive of the deep feeling of his soul, that God was always to be regarded as an object of adoration and praise. 

**His praise shall continually be in my mouth -**I will be constantly uttering his praises; or, my thanks shall be unceasing. This expresses the “purpose” of the psalmist; and this is an indication of the nature of true piety. With a truly pious man the praise of God is constant; and it is an indication of true religion when a man is “disposed” always to bless God, whatever may occur. Irreligion, unbelief, scepticism, worldliness, false philosophy, murmur and complain under the trials and amidst the dark things of life; true religion, faith, love, spirituality of mind, Christian philosophy, see in God always an object of praise. People who have no real piety, but who make pretensions to it, are disposed to praise and bless God in times of sunshine and prosperity; true piety always regards him as worthy of praise - in the storm as well as in the sunshine; in the dark night of calamity, as well as in the bright days of prosperity. Compare [Job 13:15](/kjv/job/13/15).
